The correct response to why the textbook feels heavier than the pencil is:

The textbook has a stronger attraction to Earth.

This is because weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object's mass, and since the textbook has a greater mass than the pencil, it experiences a stronger gravitational pull towards the Earth, making it feel heavier.
